WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, and Democratic
Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel held a news conference late this afternoon in
the Capitol on the SCHIP bill. Shortly after the news conference, President
Bush vetoed the bill. Below are the Speaker's opening remarks:

"Good afternoon. It is reported that later today that the President
will veto the SCHIP bill. Once again, he will veto the SCHIP bill.

"This is indeed a sad action for him to take, because so many children
in our country need access to quality health care. That is why we were able
to pass with strong bipartisan support, in the House and Senate, with the
veto-proof majority in the Senate, legislation that would cover 10 million
children in America at the cost of $35 billion. It was all paid for.

"We worked in a bipartisan manner to bring the first bill to the floor
and the second bill to the floor. Since that time, Mr. Hoyer has been
engaged in negotiations with Republicans in the House trying to meet their
concerns. Mr. Rahm Emanuel was present at the birth of SCHIP in the Clinton
White House, so he has taken a very major interest in this legislation.

"The health of our children is of the highest priority to the Democrats
in the Congress of the United States. This holiday season, when families
should be thinking about toys and presents for their children - my
grandchildren celebrate Chanukah and Christmas, Rahm - instead, their
parents are concerned about their having access to health care. It just
isn't right.

"So I would hope and pray that the President might have a change of
heart at the last minute, but the reality is that the President has spoken.
He has said he will veto the bill.

"Let it be clear that Democrats will not rest until 10 million children
in America have access to health care, and that it is paid for. Let it be
clear that we will persi'/>"/>
